Maintaining good oral health is essential for your overall well-being, and choosing the right dental treatment can make a significant difference in both function and appearance. White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a modern and popular option for restoring teeth. At Brunswick Square Dental Practice, we provide high-quality white fillings designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
What Are White Fillings?
White fillings are made from a tooth-coloured composite resin that closely matches the shade of your natural teeth. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, they are virtually invisible, making them an ideal choice for patients who prefer a more discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution.
They are commonly used to treat tooth decay, repair chipped or worn teeth, and improve the overall appearance of your smile.
Benefits of White Fillings
- Natural Appearance
White fillings are carefully matched to your tooth colour, ensuring a smooth and natural finish. - Durable and Reliable
Modern composite materials are strong and long-lasting, capable of withstanding everyday biting and chewing. - Minimally Invasive Treatment
Less of the natural tooth needs to be removed compared to amalgam fillings, helping to preserve healthy tooth structure. - Mercury-Free
White fillings do not contain mercury, making them a safer and more environmentally friendly option. - Versatile Use
Suitable for both front and back teeth, they can also be used for minor cosmetic improvements.
The Procedure
The process of receiving a white filling is straightforward and typically completed in a single visit:
- Examination: Your dentist assesses the affected tooth.
- Preparation: Any decay or damage is carefully removed.
- Application: The composite resin is applied in layers.
- Curing: A special light is used to harden the material.
- Finishing: The filling is shaped and polished to match your natural tooth.
At Brunswick Square Dental Practice, our experienced team ensures a comfortable and efficient experience for every patient.
How Long Do White Fillings Last?
With proper care, white fillings can last between 5 to 10 years, and often longer. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and limiting sugary foods will help maintain their condition.
